Tanah Lot is one of Bali’s most famous and frequently visited temples. Perched on a large rocky outcrop jutting into the sea on the island’s west coast, this temple offers spectacular sunset views and a deeply mystical atmosphere.

Tanah Lot is not just a tourist spot but also an important spiritual site for Balinese people. It is dedicated to the sea gods and is believed to protect the island from sea dangers. During low tide, visitors can walk around the rock to get a closer look at the temple standing resilient against the crashing waves.

Beyond its natural beauty, the Tanah Lot area is surrounded by well-maintained gardens, art markets, and cafés offering local souvenirs and delicacies. The best time to visit is late afternoon to enjoy a breathtaking sunset.
